The field experiment to study the effect of microgranular sulphur (Cosavet Ferits WG) on soil properties, nutrient uptake, growth and yield parametes of banana was undertaken at Banana Research Station, Jalgaon during the years 2007 to 2009. Application of sulphur @ 12 g plant-1 through Cosavet Fertis (WG) in two splits recorded significantly higher no. of hands per bunch, maximum bunch weight and yield over control. Application of sulphur @ 9 g plant-1 through Cosavet Fertis (WG) in two splits recorded 137 fingers per bunch, 19.6 kg bunch weight and 87.0 t ha-1 yield which was found at par with application of sulphur @ 12 g plant-1 through Cosavet Fertis in two splits. Lower soil pH and EC were reported in the treatments where sulphur was applied through Cosavet Fertis (WG). Higher nutrient uptake was recorded in the treatment of sulphur @ 12 g plant-1 through Cosavet Fertis (WG) in two splits.

Abstract


The field experiment to study the effect of microgranular sulphur (Cosavet Ferits WG) on soil properties, nutrient uptake, growth and yield parametes of banana was undertaken at Banana Research Station, Jalgaon during the years 2007 to 2009. Application of sulphur @ 12 g plant-1 through Cosavet Fertis (WG) in two splits recorded significantly higher no. of hands per bunch, maximum bunch weight and yield over control. Application of sulphur @ 9 g plant-1 through Cosavet Fertis (WG) in two splits recorded 137 fingers per bunch, 19.6 kg bunch weight and 87.0 t ha-1 yield which was found at par with application of sulphur @ 12 g plant-1 through Cosavet Fertis in two splits. Lower soil pH and EC were reported in the treatments where sulphur was applied through Cosavet Fertis (WG). Higher nutrient uptake was recorded in the treatment of sulphur @ 12 g plant-1 through Cosavet Fertis (WG) in two splits.
